If At First You Don't Succeed, Sue Sue Your Opposition's Brains Out

That's apparently the new mantra of the enviro-wacko Left, if this report from Gateway Pundit is correct:

The global warming nuts are planning their next moves.
The anti-capitalists are going to find sympathetic judges and sue greenhouse gas emitters for causing non-existent global warming.
FOX News reported:

Environmentalists, unable to squeeze "cap and trade" rules through the U.S. Senate, have a new strategy for combating what they believe is man-made global warming:

They're going to sue.

They're revving up their briefs and getting ready to shop for judges who will be sympathetic to their novel claim that the companies they believe contribute to global warming are a "public nuisance."

The environmentalists allege that individual companies are responsible for climate change because they have emitted greenhouse gases during the course of their operations. Those gases, they say, have "harmed" them by fostering Hurricane Katrina, eroding the shorelines of America's coasts and causing global warming.

"People have a right to sue for redress of grievances," said Lee A. DeHihns III, a partner with law firm Alston & Bird's environmental and land development group and a former associate general counsel with the EPA. He said global warming is a "public nuisance," just like a neighbor with a loud stereo. "You can sue for an intentional infliction of harm, a nuisance," said DeHihns, whose firm is consulting with plaintiffs pursuing these cases.

They won't be satisfied until we all live in mud huts.

The only thing I would disagree with GP on is the fact that they don't want all of us to live in mud huts.  No, they'll keep their own mansions, limos, and private jets, thank you very much.  It's you and me that will have to live in the mud huts.

Cause, you know, they're better than you and me.  They don't deserve mud huts like we do.

There's my two cents.
